ABSTRACT:
A floor squeak and pop eliminator. The apparatus includes a two-flanged angle bracket to which is adhered a compressible shim or block. The bracket is fastened to the floor joist in the proximity of the floor noise source, with the compressible shim in contact with the underside of the floor. Screws are turned upward through the bracket and the compressible shim and into the floor, compressing the shim and drawing the floor down to the joist and securing the floor to the shim to eliminate the squeak.
